Ebe and Jal recall their very first gig on August 28, 1999. ?Ebe was sick and there were only five people in the audience,? says Jal. This was at Villa Romana in Baguio City. Ebe went through a succession of bands in college and was ready to call it quits when he met Jal and, eventually, then-drummer Mitch Singson. ?Sabi ko sa sarili ko, huling subok ko na. Kung mag-fail ?to, siguro hindi talaga para sa?kin,? Ebe shares, ?then everything just fell into place.?
